JA Yawd Bwoy · May 7th, 2008, 18:06

Those are some great pics!

Tld · May 7th, 2008, 18:08

Nice photos, thanks for sharing!

youngflyer · May 7th, 2008, 18:23

Very nice pics!!

LoadMasterC141 · May 7th, 2008, 18:57

Great pix! looks like a good time in slick plane.

The McGuire AFB picture is not showing. Could you possibly try again? I used to be stationed there and would love to see a current pic. Thanks!

SmoothLanderJ · May 7th, 2008, 22:42

Man, nice pics. That looks like some really fun flying!

Matt13C · May 8th, 2008, 00:18

Good pics! I have flown over N14 a few times in my training and have not stopped in yet. I plan on making it one of my first stops with passengers to get a $100 cheeseburger.

Have you been to Block Island, KBID? I hear it is a nice airport and a great place to visit to rent bikes and ride around a historic town.

jordan747_400 · May 8th, 2008, 01:18

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!

That airport does look like Heaven on Earth...at least for pilots

I 'll ask my bro to upload the pic again. McGuire is satyin pretty busy though, the ramp was filled with C17's, KC-10's, and even a 135 or two. The coolest thing is being anble to hear the pilots callsigns on McGuire APP CON ("Opec xxx", "Reach xxx", "Uggly 1 " etc.)

BUt anyway thatnks for the comments we'll be sure to take more picks next time we are up.

LoadMasterC141 · May 8th, 2008, 11:47

It is up and working now thank you very much. Brings back alot of memories.

darrenf · May 8th, 2008, 12:13

Great Pics, but how did you miss the Swimming pool?

Flying Bison · May 9th, 2008, 19:40

good to see a fellow FRG pilot. that one of glass cockpits aircraft?

n57flyguy · May 9th, 2008, 19:58

Nice pictures, I'm definitely going to add that to my list of XCs

kmiller · May 10th, 2008, 02:19

Block is in fact a great place to visit! Awesome people, great food and a beautiful flight out there! Just be aware, there is only a single runway and that means that quite frequently you have a pretty wicked crosswind. It's also very very crowded on the weekends, or any nice summer day for that matter. Best be arriving early if you want a tie down. Let me know the next time you are out there...I'll take you for crab cakes and lobster rolls at the oar!

A very expensive Nikon SLR!

But you gotta admit the free food and great weather were good

meyers9163 · May 10th, 2008, 16:41

Thanks for the info. I will let you know if I make it up there this summer. Crab cakes are delicious and anything with lobster in it I am a fan of.
